Safe and Fun Retirement Home in Kingston

21 May 19

A retirement home in Amherstview is showcasing its award-winning programs and services at an open house this spring.

Helen Henderson Retirement Lodge, an accredited retirement home owned and operated by Gibson Family Health Care, is opening its doors to the public on Saturday, June 1 from 1 to 4 pm.

Featuring a delicious BBQ, Helen Henderson Retirement Lodge Spring Open House includes live entertainment by Mark from AMBUSH. Admission is free and open to everyone.

“We hope the community takes advantage of this opportunity to tour our retirement lodge and meet our friendly staff,” says Angela Gibson, Assistant Administrator.

“The Spring Open House is a great way to taste the delicious food prepared in our kitchen and enjoy the spectacular entertainment we have on a regular basis. As a family run business, we truly understand the importance of family and meeting the needs of each individual.”

Managers and team members will be on-hand to guide visitors through the layout to fully appreciate the living space such as the dining room, common areas, activity rooms, living quarters and more.

Guests can meet Mildred King who lives at Helen Henderson Retirement Lodge. Smiling on a warm afternoon in May, Mildred admits she loves her full and active life.

“I’ve been here just over one-month and I feel right at home,” says the friendly 97-year-old. “Everyone has been so attentive, kind and caring. The food has been delicious. I clean-up my plate every meal. I also love the programs here. They have lots of activities.”

Born in Prescott, Mildred grew up in Iroquois where her father worked as a Lock Master on St. Lawrence Lock 25.  After earning her nursing license with her twin sister, the two worked for many years in health care.
